1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Mutant Abl kinases (such as BCR-Abl) drive the development of leukemia; however little is known regarding whether Abl kinases contribute to the development or progression of solid tumors. We recently demonstrated that endogenous Abl kinases (c-Abl, Arg) are activated by deregulated ErbB receptors and Src kinases, and drive invasion of aggressive breast cancer cells. In this study, we examined whether activation of endogenous Abl kinases affects transformation, proliferation and survival, which are major contributors to breast cancer development and metastatic progression. Using a pharmacological inhibitor and RNAi, we demonstrate that activation of endogenous Abl kinases dramatically promotes breast cancer cell proliferation and anchorage-independent growth in serum, as well as survival following nutrient deprivation. Activation of Abl kinases mediates phosphorylation of STAT3, and promotes proliferation by accelerating G(1) --> S progression. Moreover, we identify IGF-1R as a novel upstream activator of endogenous Abl kinases, and demonstrate that Abl kinase activation is required for IGF-1-stimulated cell cycle progression in breast cancer cells. Since activation of Abl kinases affects multiple steps of breast cancer development and progression, Abl kinase inhibitors are likely to be effective agents for the treatment of breast cancers containing highly active Abl kinases.
